AMERICA’S ENDANGERED FOUNDATION

Dedicated to: “The Restoration of America’s Democracy”

The founding fathers implemented a foundation

That made America the greatest nation,

The guilty would have to make restitution

But not without appropriate adjudication

 

Since 1776 our nation always stood tall

Through wars and decades of the Berlin Wall,

Even through the years of Stalin and egregious Hitler

No American President was seen as a dictator

 

Freedom in America is not a privilege but a “right”

Guaranteed by the Judicial and Congressional oversight,

Now the Right-Wing congress passed a bill

And with Bush’s signature, “Habeas Corpus,” they did kill

 

Habeas Corpus “was” regarded as the great constitutional guaranty

For every person’s freedom and liberty,

But the inception of Dictatorship by the Supreme Court’s Presidency

We have become despots in the eyes of everybody

 

We can again become the world’s respected Union

Only if we again honor, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution!

Author’s Comments

The Writ of Habeas Corpus is not to determine a prisoner’s guilt or innocence, and the only issue which it presents is whether a prisoner is restrained of his Liberty by “Due Process.” Just imagine, George W. Bush whose “deception and lies” lead us into this Iraq war that has cost the lives and severe injuries to some twenty three thousand American Soldiers and the deaths of one hundred thousand plus Iraqis, and yes he, George W. Bush is now the “sole” decision maker of who has the right to Habeas Corpus. In the words of Benjamin Franklin; “If we sacrifice our liberties in the name of freedom, then we deserve neither.” Vote in November 2006 not out of Party’s loyalty, but vote to restore our democracy, and if not for our sake, but for the future of all of “our children, and our children’s children”
